The Packing Shed

This rustic little eating place The Packing Shed is about an hours drive up into the hills behind Perth in Western Australia. On my trip to Perth last year we spent a leisurely Sunday relaxing and enjoying wines produced on the estate, to accompany our lunch under a shady tree in the sun. Various tables of differing shapes and sizes , complete with mismatching chairs, are dotted under trees outside what was once the packing shed of an orchard.Sadly the food was nothing special, however the ambience more than made up for the lack of originality. Desserts were an improvement on the mains.Surprisingly the flies were not as prolific as I expected for a bushside setting. Staff keep a can of Aerogard under the counter just in case.
